A. A.'s Country-wide News Circuit

Dallas, Texas, A.A.s now number over 300 with about 200 of these in the downtown group and the others in the suburban organization. The downtown group recently hired a full time manager, a nonalcoholic formerly associated with a Dallas institution devoted to treatment of alcoholics and nervous ailments. He is paid through voluntary contributions of members who believe it will aid in a more business-like operation of the club. Dr. E. M. Jellinek, professor of physiciology at Yale and director of its department of alcohol studies is scheduled to visit Dallas late in April and will speak at a public meeting sponsored by the local unit of the National Committee for Education on Alcoholism and later at a closed meeting of A.A. groups.
